don't think it will make much difference ,when did testament last release a good record?! the legacy is one of my all time faves,new order excellent but it's been a slow downward slide ever since!unless they're planning to return to theirclassic thrash sound of course- oh well i can dream!

"The Gathering" was a great thrash album. Best thing they'd done for a long, long time.

hmmm, if i hear one blast beat ill destroy my cd player

Why, too fast for you??????? hehehehe

Seriously though, Nick is in demand as he is an awesome drummer who can play in many styles (like gene hoglan). Just because ha can blast beat as fast as you could want, and can get so complicated he is in danger of losing his stool up his arse, doesnt mean he has to play like that all the time. He will play what the band feel is right for the sound they are looking for, so its down to what is written. I have the CATELEPSY demo from 1991 where nick was still a kid really and his drumming is awesome even back then!!
I remeber Andy Galleon of death angel was only 13 when they recorded the "kill as one" demo, and 14 when "the ultra-violence" was recorded. Shame to have peaked so young tho!!!!
